Description : This classic treatise on Western mysticism has proved to be one of the most durable and inspiring books written on the subject. Through Steiner, himself a true mystic as well as a scholar, some of the greatest mystics in Western history seem to come alive and transmit their messages as if they were sitting next to us.
Here you can read about their essential passion for unity, their practice of intensification of perception, and their ever-fresh insights into the process of knowing itself. The mystics discussed in this book resolved the conflict between their inner perceptions and the beginnings of modern science in the new world of individual freedom. Based on the lives and teaching of these men and on his own spiritual insight, Steiner shows how their ideas can illuminate and preserve our true human nature today.
